Congratulations on apparently being the only person to think Nathan Jones would be a good player and captain one day.....

Also, just wondering how your more recent genius predictions have been going? Like these ones you made for season 2013...

Grand Finalists: Sydney vs. West Coast

Premiers: Sydney

Wooden Spoon: Gold Coast

Biggest AFL Story of the Year: "Lance Franklin Rejects Hawks; Heads West to Fremantle"

The Biggest Improvers: GWS, Richmond

Most Improved: Sam Blease

Final Ladder Position: 11th

Thanks PJ, I've always prided myself on my modesty. It's probably my fourth best trait after intelligence, good looks and athleticism.

2011 was the only years that I can recall where Green had a bad one. Almost everyone was in favour of him getting the captaincy but it just didn't work; that aside he has been a fantastic player for

Then why post in this thread? For whatever faults he may have, he is a 200+ game, 10 year player at the Club that should deserve appropriate respect.

Even the best of us are wrong sometimes, Stuie. That must have been on one of my very few off days...

When I saw the blue star next to the title thread I thought this would have been a thread where I queried Green's captaining...

Don't want to go back there...

To those that didn't see Jones as Captain in 2011 (I was one that would have overlooked him) the difference between the Jones of 2011 and the Jones of the last two years is quite stark.

hey... let's not overlook the fact that in your prediction you stated that he will "thrive under Neeld..."... so, are you crediting Neeld with his rise to the captaincy? ;-)

Haha well Jones did excel while Neeld was coach. Whether he excelled because of Neeld's coaching or because of his own hard work though, is difficult to know ^_^

"Green named Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove, Nathan Jones, Daniel Nicholson and Rohan Bail as players to step up their leadership"

Impressive effort from a player still on a rookie list.

We need his style of play in our team so hopefully he continues to develop.

I laughed.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
